Accounts
Q2: Retirement
Add a
time_to_retire
method to theAccount
class. This method takes in anamount
and returns how many years the holder would need to wait in order for the currentbalance
to grow to at leastamount
, assuming that the bank addsbalance
times theinterest
rate to the total balance at the end of every year.
The description tells us that: We will add our balance
every year, so when may we retire? Both the math and code are simple.
def time_to_retire(self, amount):
"""Return the number of years until balance would grow to amount."""
assert self.balance > 0 and amount > 0 and self.interest > 0
year, curAmount = 0, self.balance
while True:
year += 1
curAmount *= (1 + self.interest)
if curAmount > amount:
return year
Q3: FreeChecking
Implement the
FreeChecking
class, which is like theAccount
class from lecture except that it charges a withdraw fee after 2 withdrawals. If a withdrawal is unsuccessful, it still counts towards the number of free withdrawals remaining, but no fee for the withdrawal will be charged.
We need to check an additional parameter(free_withdrawals
) compare with withdraw
, which indicates the number of times we can withdraw without being charged the fee. There are 2 points to note here:
- The number of
free_wighdrawals
will be reduced even if we fail to withdraw. - The sum of the fee and the
amount
should be bigger than thebalance
so that we can withdraw successfully when we need to pay the fee.
def withdraw(self, amount):
if self.free_withdrawals > 0:
if amount > self.balance:
self.free_withdrawals -= 1
return "Insufficient funds"
if amount > self.max_withdrawal:
self.free_withdrawals -= 1
return "Can't withdraw that amount"
self.free_withdrawals -= 1
self.balance = self.balance - amount
else:
if amount + self.withdraw_fee > self.balance:
self.free_withdrawals -= 1
return "Insufficient funds"
if amount + self.withdraw_fee > self.max_withdrawal:
self.free_withdrawals -= 1
return "Can't withdraw that amount"
self.balance = self.balance - amount - self.withdraw_fee
Magic: the Lambda-ing
Description
We will be implementing a card game in the lab. You can check the rules here
Q4: Making Cards
To play a card game, we’re going to need to have cards, so let’s make some! We’re gonna implement the basics of the
Card
class first.First, implement the
Card
class constructor inclasses.py
. This constructor takes three arguments:
- a string as the
name
of the card- an integer as the
attack
value of the card- an integer as the
defense
value of the cardEach
Card
instance should keep track of these values using instance attributes calledname
,attack
, anddefense
.You should also implement the
power
method inCard
, which takes in another card as an input and calculates the current card’s power. Refer to the Rules of the Game if you’d like a refresher on how power is calculated.
We need to implement the constructor and the power
functions.
class Card:
cardtype = 'Staff'
def __init__(self, name, attack, defense):
"""
Create a Card object with a name, attack,
and defense.
"""
self.name = name
self.attack = attack
self.defense = defense
def power(self, opponent_card):
"""
Calculate power as:
(player card's attack) - (opponent card's defense)/2
"""
return self.attack - opponent_card.defense / 2
Q5: Making a Player
Now that we have cards, we can make a deck, but we still need players to actually use them. We’ll now fill in the implementation of the
Player
class.A
Player
instance has three instance attributes:
name
is the player’s name. When you play the game, you can enter your name, which will be converted into a string to be passed to the constructor.deck
is an instance of theDeck
class. You can draw from it using its.draw()
method.hand
is a list ofCard
instances. Each player should start with 5 cards in their hand, drawn from theirdeck
. Each card in the hand can be selected by its index in the list during the game. When a player draws a new card from the deck, it is added to the end of this list.Complete the implementation of the constructor for
Player
so thatself.hand
is set to a list of 5 cards drawn from the player’sdeck
.Next, implement the
draw
andplay
methods in thePlayer
class. Thedraw
method draws a card from the deck and adds it to the player’s hand. Theplay
method removes and returns a card from the player’s hand at the given index.Call
deck.draw()
when implementingPlayer.__init__
andPlayer.draw
. Don’t worry about how this function works - leave it all to the abstraction!
The tasks are as follow:
We have 5 cards at the beginning of the game. We need to implement these:
- the constructor. We need to draw 5 cards from the
deck
. For the simplicity, we can use list comprehension here. - the
draw
function. Usedeck.draw()
is enough. - the
play
function. We need to play card at the given index. You should distinguish between.remove()
and.pop()
.
def __init__(self, deck, name):
"""Initialize a Player object.
"""
self.deck = deck
self.name = name
self.hand = [deck.draw() for i in range(5)]
def draw(self):
"""Draw a card from the player's deck and add it to their hand.
"""
assert not self.deck.is_empty(), 'Deck is empty!'
self.hand.append(self.deck.draw())
def play(self, card_index):
"""Remove and return a card from the player's hand at the given index.
"""
card = self.hand[card_index]
self.hand.pop(card_index)
return card
Optional Questions
Q6: AIs: Defenders
Implement the
effect
method for AIs, which reduces the opponent card’s attack by the opponent card’s defense, and then doubles the opponent card’s defense.Note: The opponent card’s resulting attack value cannot be negative.
Note that if the attack is less than zero, we need to set it to zero.
def effect(self, opponent_card, player, opponent):
"""
Reduce the opponent's card's attack by its defense,
then double its defense.
"""
opponent_card.attack -= opponent_card.defense
if opponent_card.attack < 0:
opponent_card.attack = 0
opponent_card.defense *= 2
Q7: Tutors: Flummox
Implement the
effect
method for TAs, which swaps the attack and defense of the opponent’s card.
We should discard our cards without breaking the abstraction. So we can use .play
and .draw
methods here.
def effect(self, opponent_card, player, opponent):
"""
Discard the first 3 cards in the opponent's hand and have
them draw the same number of cards from their deck.
"""
# discard 3 cards
for i in range(3):
opponent.play(i)
# draw 3 cards
for i in range(3):
opponent.draw()
# You should add your implementation above this.
print('{} discarded and re-drew 3 cards!'.format(opponent.name))
Q8: TAs: Shift
Implement the
effect
method for TAs, which swaps the attack and defense of the opponent’s card.
Just swap the attack and the defense
def effect(self, opponent_card, player, opponent):
"""
Swap the attack and defense of an opponent's card.
"""
opponent_card.attack, opponent_card.defense = opponent_card.defense, opponent_card.attack
Q9: The Instructor Arrives
A new challenger has appeared! Implement the
effect
method for the Instructors, who add the opponent card’s attack and defense to all cards in the player’s deck and then removes all cards in the opponent’s deck that have the same attack or defense as the opponent’s card.Note: If you mutate a list while iterating through it, you may run into trouble. Try iterating through a copy of the list instead. You can use slicing to make a copy of a list:
>>> original = [1, 2, 3, 4] >>> copy = original[:] >>> copy [1, 2, 3, 4] >>> copy is original False
This one is a little more difficult compared with the other ones. The key of this question is how can we mutate the list while we iterate it. You may check this
def effect(self, opponent_card, player, opponent):
"""
Adds the attack and defense of the opponent's card to
all cards in the player's deck, then removes all cards
in the opponent's deck that share an attack or defense
stat with the opponent's card.
"""
orig_opponent_deck_length = len(opponent.deck.cards)
# add the attack and defense of the opponent's card ...
for card in player.deck.cards:
card.attack += opponent_card.attack
card.defense += opponent_card.defense
# remove all cards in the opponent's deck that share ...
for card in opponent.deck.cards[:]:
if card.attack == opponent_card.attack and card.defense == opponent_card.defense:
opponent.deck.cards.remove(card)
# You should add your implementation above this.
discarded = orig_opponent_deck_length - len(opponent.deck.cards)
if discarded:
print('{} cards were discarded from {}\'s deck!'.format(discarded, opponent.name))
